I got an Xbox 360 this week. Couldn't really afford it, but I couldn't pass up on the deal they were offering at the Future Shop - Forza 2, Spiderman Alliance and Guitar Hero II [with the guitar] were free with the purchase of the premium system.

Today I tried to get XBox Live set up on it, what a fucking nightmare. I bought a Linksys router, which was a royal pain to get working by itself. As if that wasn't bad enough, the Live account signup kept rejecting my email address as not valid. So I created an account using my PC and then tried to use that account to get on Live. But it keeps telling me it can't do it and to try again later. I tested my connection to Live and it says everything's fine so I don't know what the problem is. I fired off an email to Live support so hopefully they can help. Very frustrating.
